What the gurus are saying

This powder foundation earns praise for being a nice option for those ready to wear powder alone, though it's not meant to layer over liquid foundation without getting quite full-on. The one thing to keep in mind: the shade range tends to skew yellow or orange, so finding an exact match can be tricky for some people, and patch-testing shades before committing is wise.

"The BareMinerals Original Pressed Powder Foundation is actually a really nice powder foundation, and I'm so ready for us to get back to powders. Just keep in mind this isn't a powder you want to layer on top of foundation unless you want extreme coverage."

"I've always kind of struggled with Bare Minerals for their powder foundations, finding like a correct color. I feel like it tends to be like too yellow or too orange."
